Hope to Dream Provides 100 Children with a Good Night’s Sleep
PITTSBURGH (June 27, 2025) – In a continued effort to provide children with a safe, comfortable place to sleep, Hope to Dream, in collaboration with Serta Simmons Beauty Rest, has donated 100 bed sets to The Salvation Army. This impactful partnership is helping children in Pittsburgh and surrounding counties in Western Pennsylvania get the good night’s rest they deserve.
The donation includes 100 twin mattresses, bed frames and bedding sets, which will be distributed to families with children served by The Salvation Army through its social services and community outreach programs.
Adequate rest is essential to a child’s physical health, emotional well-being, and academic success. A proper bed isn’t just a source of comfort—it’s the foundation for growth, learning, and resilience. For families facing financial hardship, this gift can be life-changing.
“There is unexplainable joy on the faces of children as they receive their new beds. For some, it may mean they no longer have to share with a sibling—for others, it may be their very first bed,” said Ruthie Bautista, Vice President of Hope to Dream.
Lauren Fair, Divisional Director of Social Services for The Salvation Army of Western Pennsylvania added: “A new bed may seem small compared to the daily challenges many families face, but it’s a meaningful step toward stability and dignity. We’re deeply grateful to Hope to Dream and Serta Simmons Bedding for this generous and ongoing partnership.”
Together, Hope to Dream and The Salvation Army remain committed to making a lasting difference in the lives of children and families—one good night’s sleep at a time.
